Sunflower leaves - decay

I used to paint like this most days, now I'm lucky if I get this flow once in a month, maybe longer. It's nearly a week since I was at my easel, and I won't get to it for another two weeks at least. But this. This makes me really happy. Some day, I know, I will be in the space again where I can paint again. In the meantime, I sketch and experiment. It doesn't completely satisfy my need to create, but it keeps me engaged with creativity all the same.
4 postcard-sized thumbnails on quarter sheet watercolour paper. Oh, and phthalo blue makes gorgeous darks. I already knew that, but for some reason don't keep phthalo blue in my palette. Something to consider.






And a little experiment with a graphite stick.
